Pure Blue VDL combines the foundation stallion Zirocco Blue VDL with one of the most competitive mares of her generation: Blue Angel. Sire Zirocco Blue VDL is among the best breeding stallions of his generation and his offspring continue to convince at the highest level. With well over 100 offspring at 1.50m level or higher, including top horses such as Glamour Girl, Elysium, Hallilea, Zuccero, Zilton SL Z and Eddie Blue, Zirocco Blue VDL ranks among world's most successful showjumping sires. Pure Blue VDL's grandsire Luidam also performed at top level himself and in recent years has increasingly delivered as sire or grandsire of international showjumping talents.

Pure Blue VDL's dam Blue Angel herself performed at international top level for many years. Blue Angel first jumped very successfully with the American rider Lauren Hough and then had successes with USA’s Andrew Ramsay. Afterwards, top rider Kent Farrington took over the reins of Blue Angel and he strung together one victory after another. Blue Angel scored dozens of international victories in her career, including multiple times the Grand Prix of Wellington and 1.60m classes in Calgary, Geneva, Washington and Dublin.

 

Palmares

At the KWPN Stallion Show, Pure Blue VDL was one of the most convincing young stallions. He stood out at both the first and the second round viewing with his enormous scope, push from the floor and quality on the jump. In addition, Pure Blue VDL jumps with a fantastic technique both in front and behind and has an excellent balance in canter.
